# This script prepares an IOmega disk for use with amanda.
# More precisely, it
# - formats the disk, checking for bad sectors
# - mounts the disk and adds a data subdirectory
# - makes user amanda owner of this data sub directory
# - calls amlabel to label the disk
# - unmounts and ejects the disk.
# 
# This shell script is not generally usable as is, 
# because it is relying on a couple of settings of personal taste, such as
# - IOmega disks are partitioned and the fourth primary partition 
#   is taking the whole disk. So the disk is visible as /dev/sda4.
# - I am preferring to use an ext2 filesystem on the disk 
#   (rather then a dos or vfat file system)
# - I am doing a chown of the data sub directory such that - depending 
#   on the umask setting - only user amanda and root can see 
#   the files written to the disk.

# It has to be called as root
